The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A gentle, low-stakes life sim where you explore a pixel-art forest, gather ingredients, and brew potions at your own pace as a friendly apprentice witch.

What players say

Players praise the cute art, cozy atmosphere, and engaging characters but warn the game is dialog-heavy and tasks like potion brewing and encyclopedia completion grow repetitive. Opinion splits on the story's depth versus its excess of text, and some note bugs or content still missing after full release.
